Green technological capitalism

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

I don't know exactly who welcomed green capitalism. But I know what made the situation worse: the capsules they use with those coffee machines that can hardly be recycled. I'm sure it was one of the first ones we introduced into our homes. As has already been mentioned, the capsules were not very recyclable and, therefore, there was a strong debate against the company’s social networks. Aluminium and plastic. And inside are the organic remnants of coffee.

They made capsules with the materials that were considered compostable and that proved their investment. A problem that they themselves have created by solving. And they're all proud. However, it is clear that as the capsule market continues to grow, the pressure to offer more sustainable alternatives is not as great as it could be.

Thousands of new inventions came after the capsules. And after creating an ecological problem, they triggered a health emergency called green capitalism. It should be pointed out that this is not an environmental concern, but rather being able to sell more and take an eco-varnish with an increasingly intense odor.

And the last ones that join this race are mobiles.

"If those supposedly green companies really care about the environment, I think they can make modular mobiles. So if I break the mobile
camera, I should not stop using everything else."

It is the first US company to sell mobiles without charger, and the second one, from China. As far as I know, neither of them has chosen to lower the price of the new product, as it had a smaller component. Mobile at the same price as mobile and charger. The other day a friend told me that the European Union’s guidelines were in that direction, because at home we have a lot of chargers and there is no need to have more. And it's a logical idea. If it wasn't endured by savage capitalism.

As regards the burden of electronic devices, it should first be noted that much of the innovation in recent years has focused on batteries. Fast charging, magnetic charging, wireless charging… The charging speeds of the mobiles we buy are increasing. If my previous cell phone charged 18W, the current one does it at 33W. I don't have a 33W charger, except the one that came with my phone. If I used the above, I would not use the fast charge I have paid. And what would happen? Because I would basically buy a charger that doesn't come with your phone. In order to recover what the marketing has sold me, that I pay and that the company has robbed me. Reintegrating. Of course.
However, the company would declare itself as green.

If these supposedly green companies really care about the environment, I think they can make modular mobiles. So if I break the cell phone, I should not stop using everything else. I buy the camera module, I change it, and I keep using the device normally with all the other components that are new. You don't have to be an engineer to detect that in this way we would be in a position to rule out fewer fully useful computer components. But anyway, this idea isn't mine. The news is not very new either.

Likewise, they should stop using the programmed aging techniques.

But no. Remove the charger. Because the two I propose are opposed to their business model. So that everything stays the same.

The group to be examined

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]

La blancura is not on vacation

I can't contain the fire that hugs me inside, and I can only write these stupid words so I don't get mastered by despair.

I hate hypocrisy, I hate whites. The problem is that whiteness is everywhere, that we are all white.

It is well known that all the institutions take... [+]

Proposal of the model of the Basque Marriage of Lekeitio for the PNV to investigate the path of reflection

In 1977 the Basque Country Kopa of Lekeitio was launched, a time of transition. At the time of the Republic, in 1931, the first Basque Wedding left the Batzoki. In 1964, the Euskadi Wedding Championship was also held in Lekeitio, in tribute to Resurrection Maria Azkue.

To what extent should they be small farmers?

Much of the current left-wing movement, albeit intuitively, claims small-scale agriculture, without any doubt. However, this claim for smallness has its contradictions: a small farm, by definition, will not be able to produce a lot of food. And is that important? Well, in a... [+]

What we have to defend

One student told me once we studied a text: “The character is sick: the thought moves in his head.” Obviously, with this phrase, he misplaced the comment he had in his mind, that is, that the imbecility of the character was noticed in his continuous reflections. However,... [+]

Learning to say goodbye

Saying goodbye to something or someone is usually an act related to abandonment, the end and, ultimately, the grieving process. I'm sure you would ever, or you'd hear someone, tell them the typical, topical phrase of "I don't like greetings." And I don't want to fool you, not even I've... [+]
